> **Note:** This is depreciated, latest version is available [here](https://www.microsoft.com/cognitive-services/en-us/face-api).
Face APIs provide state-of-the-art algorithms to process face images, like face detection with gender and age prediction, recognition, alignment and other application level features.
##Face detection with attributes extraction##
You will get the detected faces with rectangles indicating the face positions and a series of face related attributes, include landmarks, pose, gender and age by giving an image.

##Face Verification##
Given two detected faces, you will get result indicates whether the two requested faces belong to the same person.
